The Open Coffee Club is being launched by the CCED Team of Chitkara on the 17th of April.
The OpenCoffee Club is "a place for people who love startups, to hang out and meet" according to their recently launched social site on Ning.com. All over the world, people are getting together on a weekly basis to discuss all kinds of things, startup ideas and to meet and pitch their ideas to VCs. For an idea that only kicked off last February, it is beginning to take the world of web entrepreneurs by storm.
What is it?
The OpenCoffee Club started as an attempt to establish recognized, open and regular meeting places where entrepreneurs can meet with investors in a totally informal setting. The goal of OpenCoffee is "to create something that can be replicated anywhere else at little or no cost ... where entrepreneurs can meet and know people might be around for them to talk with."
The main attraction for people who come along seems to be the relaxed atmosphere. It's a great way to meet other startups in your area and build new relationships. For VCs its a quick and easy way to meet with a group of local entrepreneurs and to get to see their products/ideas in action. The OpenCoffee Club is free for anyone interested to come along.
